Chemical processes involved

Classification of the many different encapsulation processes is usehil. Previous schemes employing the categories chemical or physical are unsatisfactory because many so-called chemical processes involve exclusively physical phenomena, whereas so-called physical processes can utilize chemical phenomena. An alternative approach is to classify all encapsulation processes as either Type A or Type B processes. Type A processes are defined as those in which capsule formation occurs entirely in a Hquid-filled stirred tank or tubular reactor. Emulsion and dispersion stabiUty play a key role in determining the success of such processes. Type B processes are processes in which capsule formation occurs because a coating is sprayed or deposited in some manner onto the surface of a Hquid or soHd core material dispersed in a gas phase or vacuum. This category also includes processes in which Hquid droplets containing core material are sprayed into a gas phase and subsequentiy solidified to produce microcapsules. Emulsion and dispersion stabilization can play a key role in the success of Type B processes also. 

Relevant hydrological fundamentals are utilized (21) to take account of the complex interaction of physical and chemical processes involving sod or rock, water, and contaminant. Attention is paid to uncertainties in calculated results. 

Small batch retorts, heated electrically or hy combustion, are widely used as carburizing furnaces and are applicable also to chemic processes involving the heat treating of particulate sohds. These are mounted on a structural-steel base, complete with cyhnder, furnace, drive motor, burner, etc. Units are commercially av able in diameters from 0.24 to 1.25 m and lengths of 1 to 2 m. Continuous retorts with helical internal spirals are employed for metal-heat-treating purposes. Precise retention control is maintained in these operations. Standard diameters are 0.33, 0.5, and 0.67 m with effec tive lengths up... 

Chemical processes involve a strong interaction between mass and energy. Typically, the overall objective of a plant is to convert and process mass. Energy is used to drive reactions, effect separations and drive pumps and compressors. An overview of the main inputs and outputs of a process is shown in Fig. 1.1. The...

Nuclear PSAs contain considerable uncertainty associated with the physical and chemical processes involved in core degradation, movement of the molten core in the reactor vessel, on the containment floor, and the response of the containment to the stresses placed upon it. The current models of these processes need refinement and validation. Because the geometry is greatly changed by small perturbations after degradation has commenced, it is not clear that the phenomcn.i can be treated. 

A second type of CRGT plant involving modification of the fuel before combustion (Cycle B3) is shown in Fig. 8.14. Now some part of the exhaust from the turbine (which contains water vapour) is recirculated to the reformer where the fuel is modified. Thus this FG/TCR cycle has an element of the semi-closed cycle plus modification of the combustion process. The chemical process involved in this cycle has been described in Section 8.5.4, but there is now no simple comparison that can be made between the FG/ TCR cycle and the basic STIG cycle, as de.scribed in Section 8.6.2.1. 

The mechanism of boride formation is not always well known. However, many studies have sought to understand the chemical processes involved in fused-salt electrolysis. 

Silicon wafer has been extensively used in the semiconductor industry. CMP of silicon is one of the key technologies to obtain a smooth, defect-free, and high reflecting silicon surfaces in microelectronic device patterning. Silicon surface qualities have a direct effect on physical properties, such as breakdown point, interface state, and minority carrier lifetime, etc. Cook et al. [54] considered the chemical processes involved in the polishing of glass and extended it to the polishing of silicon wafer. They presented the chemical process which occurs by the interaction of the silicon layer and the...

Many physio-chemical processes involve a time delay between the input and output. This delay may be due to the time required for a slow chemical sensor to respond, or for a fluid to travel down a pipe. A time delay is also called dead time or transport lag. In controller design, the output will not contain the most current information, and systems with dead time can be difficult to control. 

By the use of the term slowly, we imply that the rate of mixing is slow compared to the rates of the various chemical processes involved.

The applications of non-equilibrium or cool plasmas are more recent ( 3). In both areas the lack of fundamental understanding of the physical and chemical processes involved results in a substantially empirical approach to new applications and the optimisation of the desired material.

Physical or chemical processes involving chemical reactivity hazards require carefully determined, facility-specific operating limits, which may go well beyond temperature control. Limits may need to be specified for addition quantities, rates and sequences agitation pH conductivity concentration pressure and other variables that either keep an undesired chemical reaction from starting or control a desired chemical reaction. Determination of these limits is outside the scope of this publication references such as Barton and Rogers (1997), CCPS (1995a) and HSE (2000) can be consulted for further information. 

Catalysis is a core technology of the current fossil fuel based economy. Over 90% of industrial chemical processes involve catalytic steps and, also, several processes in current refineries are catalytic ones. Without continuous progress and innovation in catalysis, the current pervasive oil-based economy is not possible. Similarly, catalysis technology will also have a key role in the transition to a biobased economy. The possibility of realizing this transition and to develop effective bio-refineries will depend on the progress made in developing new catalytic processes and concepts.

Both of them stand out as full and equal participants in the chemical processes involving chemisorbed particles. This is because, in these processes, as was shown in (2, 9-11), the free electrons and holes perform the functions of free valencies capable of breaking the valence bonds in the chemisorbed particles and themselves becoming saturated by these bonds.
